How can I plan my high school courses?

You will meet with your counselor one-on-one each school year to go over your credits and make sure you are registering for the correct courses. If you would like to get a jump start in planning, you may use this4 year plan worksheet

How can I get involved?

From sports, to clubs, to volunteer opportunities, there are several ways to make your mark at CVHS. Visit the “Athletics” page (tab located above) to learn more about sports that are offered. Visit the “Activities/Clubs” page (tab located above) to learn more about the array of clubs offered using the link to the 2017-18 Club Brochure on this page. It is recommended to start a log of your volunteer hours during freshman year, that way by your senior year you don’t have to try and recall all of the hours of service you have performed.

If you plan to apply for an Honor's Cord for graduation, it is a requirement to document all hours through this form: Service Log for Honor's Cord

Credit is earned for a grade of 'D' or higher. Students in Gilbert Public Schools will be assessed using the following grading scales:
